Not until macOS 28., but you're right, it's frustratingly unclear whether the initial deprecation is limited to macOS apps or whether it will also stop working

Not until macOS 28., but you're right, it's frustratingly unclear whether the initial deprecation is limited to macOS apps or whether it will also stop working for VMs.

- MBCook 7mo agoOh I have another year? Phew.
- saagarjha 7mo agoIt would be pretty difficult for Apple to disable Rosetta for VMs.
- js2 7mo agoHow so?
- simondotau 7mo agoIt never existed.

- saagarjha 7mo agoIt doesn’t require anything from the host
- js2 7mo agoThe Apple documentation for using the Virtualization framework with ARM Linux VMs to run x86_64 binaries requires Rosetta to be installed: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/running-intel-binaries-in-linux-vms-with-rosetta https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/run... So you must be talking about something else, perhaps ARM Windows VMs which use their own technology for running x86 binaries[^1]. In any case, please elaborate instead of being so vague. Thanks.

- saagarjha 7mo agoYou can just splat whatever support files it needs into the VM there isn't anything special about them. In fact you can copy them onto a different (non-Mac) device and use them there too
- stuxnet79 7mo agoThis can be avoided by not upgrading to MacOS 28 right? I'm new to Mac's and the Apple release schedule so I'm not sure how mandatory the annual updates are.
- labcomputer 7mo agoDoes Apple Silicon support VMs within VMs? What if you run MacOS 27 in a VM, and then run the x86-hosting VM inside that?
